Dong Yun was still worried: "Miss, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, will they really not find out?" ”

Ling Zhao didn't care, and reached out to touch the branch that poked out of the palace wall: "Then go and check." ”

However, Xuan Ye also asked Da Li Zi every day why he couldn't find it.

He couldn't imagine that there would be a second person who would be unfavorable to the queen, and he kept asking Da Li Zi what he did when Dongyun left the palace and returned to the house that day.

But Da Li Zi said that in the past few days, Lord Kupilon took his wife and concubine to burn incense and worship Buddha in Tianning Temple, and he did not see them come into contact with any suspicious people.

Moreover, the reason why they moved their families to Tianning Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha was because Concubine Zhao sent Dongyun to spread the word, hoping that her family could go to Tianning Temple to pray for their blessings and children.

At that time, after Da Li Zi retreated, Cao Yin, the imperial guard, was ordered to enter the palace, Xuan Ye asked him how he was doing, and Cao Yin said that although there were suspicious people in the Internal Affairs Office, no evidence could be caught.

Xuan Ye was furious: "Since it's suspicious, why can't you catch it?" ”

Cao Yin said: "If you go back to the emperor, it is a fact that the little palace maid in Kunning Palace is talking about Ao worship behind her back, and it is also a fact that she passed the news with the palace maid of Ningshou Palace, they confessed by themselves, and even Concubine Ning admitted that she had sent someone to send a message to the queen." Just because everything is true, no one makes it up, and those people will spread the words they hear, at most punish them with palace rules for their laxity, but it cannot be said that they are trying to frame the queen. ”

Xuan Ye breathed slowly, calmed himself, and asked, "Then those people, there is always a master behind them." ”

Cao Yin said: "They have no masters, only interests, unless the matter is exposed, they will never betray anyone easily." Once they don't keep their promises, no one dares to believe and use them from now on, they will cut off their own financial routes, which is the way for the inner palace slaves to survive. ”

Xuan Ye sneered: "She has to bow down to everything, dealing with minions every day, what she shouldn't learn, what she should learn, she has learned." ”

Although Cao Yin knew who the emperor was talking about, he didn't dare to say much.

"Go and prepare, I'm going to stay in Nanyuan for a few days." Xuan Ye said, "Walk with the queen." ”

"Minion Command." Cao Yin immediately clenched his fists and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, are the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager together?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "If you don't go, you can tell outsiders that I pity the queen for being frightened and want to take her to relax." ”

In this way, in late April, the emperor and queen left the palace to live in Nanyuan for five days, and on the day when the holy driver left the palace, Lingzhao's monthly letter arrived as scheduled.

Originally, this month, the monthly letter was delayed, and Dongyun couldn't hold back his excitement, and quietly asked the older grandmother about having a child, but he was still here.

Ling Zhao was very calm, only once, and it was the first night, how could he be so lucky.

She was sad, not that she failed to conceive a child, but that the emperor took the empress to a place where she had good memories in her heart, and the more time passed, the more it proved that Xuan Ye didn't like her, hated her, and disdained anything she cared about.

Ling Zhao gradually believed that the Empress Dowager did not keep her promise, or that the Empress Dowager had deceived her from the beginning, and the Emperor must have known that she and her father had passed on the news in private, and the secrets of the inner palace were told one by one.

She said to Dongyun: "No matter what, I still have to live, do I have a way out?" ”

The palace on Nanyuan Island, after the last earthquake, has been completely repaired, the palace flowers and plants are more elegant and chic than in the past, are rebuilt according to the emperor's preferences.

Xuan Ye has long wanted to serve the imperial grandmother to live and relax, after all, the wide view here can make people feel cheerful.

But Su Mala said that every time the Empress Dowager came here back then, she was in an unhappy mood, all in order to move the place for the emperor and Concubine Dong E, and it was rare to rebuild and repair, and she did not want to live up to the good scenery.

In this way, Xuan Ye's determination to build a royal garden for the imperial grandmother to live in her old age was strengthened, and in the five days after leaving the palace, one day she took Shu Shu to the suburbs to see the land.

And this is also the only day in the past five days that the two have been together all day, although this trip is to take Shu Shu to relax, but Xuan Ye has arranged a lot of serious things for himself, and has met with court officials, wealthy businessmen, folk talents, and even farmers who farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

Most of the time, Shu Shu and Pomegranate took the little palace maid to play on the island, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, sitting on the shore reef watching the lake water lap on the shore, feeding the fish and teasing the birds, it is also very comfortable.

In the short five days, it was fleeting, and he was going back to the palace tomorrow, Xuan Ye finally had time, asked where the big Li Zishu was, and went straight to find it.

The queen was squatting on the shore, feeding the rabbits with grass, and Xuan Ye walked in a hurry, and the momentum scared the rabbits into running away.

Shu Shu got up and glared at him: "What is the emperor doing viciously?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "If even rabbits are not afraid of me, I am too undignified as an emperor." ”

Shu Shu couldn't cry or laugh, handed over the things in his hand to the palace maids, someone on the side had already come to serve the mother to wash her hands, Xuan Ye took the handkerchief, wiped Shu Shu's hands in person, and said: "I will go back to the palace tomorrow, this time I said that I would take you out to relax, but I have been busy." ”

"That's good, otherwise I'll become a goblin who has misled the country." Shu Shu smiled brightly, and the displeasure brought to her by Niu Hulu Lingzhao had long since disappeared, and Shu Shu was easy to see.

But the queen can see it, it doesn't mean that everything is over, Xuan Ye took Shu Shu's hand and walked to the shore: "Ji Bilong said he was sick the day before yesterday and will live in the temple for a long time, it seems that he will not participate in court politics for a long time in the future." ”

"Are you really sick?" Shu Shu asked.

"He doesn't want to be caught between me and Aobai." Xuan Ye said, "Although everyone says that he is incompetent and incompetent, he is a wall grass that swings in the wind, but on the high wall, he can take root and grow, and naturally he has his ability." If he wants to step down, then step down first. ”

"Your Majesty, although the imperial grandmother and you don't blame me for this incident, I know that it's mine." Shu Shu said, "The people of Kunning Palace can't make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, it's my fault." ”

Xuan Ye smiled lightly: "Shu Shu, do you think this matter, is it Ao Bai who calculated us, or Niu Hulu Lingzhao who calculated us?" ”

"Naturally, it's a worship." Shu Shu said, "As for her...... Just push the boat down the river, she goes in and out of Ningshou Palace every day, and she knows everything about the concubine and concubine. ”

Xuan Ye let out a long sigh: "Why should she be like this, as long as she is honest, I will never treat her badly." But she's really ......."

Shu Shu soothed: "Everyone has selfish thoughts and desires, Your Majesty, we should be open-minded." After you became in power, Concubine Zhao began to assist in the affairs of the Six Palaces, and I also chose to gradually hand over all the power in my hands to her. She was diligent and focused, and kept everything in order, Concubine Zhao, she remembered the names of all the chiefs, eunuchs, and maids in charge, and once we were in the garden, we saw flowers spoiled by wild cats, and she could casually report the names, and even the servants who took care of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden were remembered. ”

Xuan Ye looked at Shu Shu in a daze: "She's so careful?" ”

Shu Shu said: "The emperor almost never has contact with Concubine Zhao on weekdays, and whenever something happens, it is either Ao Bai or Curb Bilong, or like this time, the Niu Hulu Lingzhao you see only has a bad side." ”

Xuan Ye lowered his eyes and said: "I have already listened to your words, don't let her ......" Halfway through the words, Xuan Ye shut up, it was that night that he lost control of his emotions, which caused the trouble later, what qualifications did he have to say these words.

Shu Shuwaner: "Your Majesty, everything is still in time, and you haven't torn your face, that's the best result." In the future, I will watch over my own people more carefully and carefully, and I will also balance her power in the palace. Actually, the imperial grandmother was very happy that this incident happened, and the imperial grandmother said that the emperor and I could calm down and think about the future. ”

Xuan Ye glanced behind him and saw that the big plum and pomegranate were in the distance, so he said to Shu Shu: "Do you know that the imperial grandmother is not good at dealing with the affairs of the harem, in the early years, there were few people in the Shengjing Palace, and the imperial grandfather could laugh and watch her be domineering, she didn't need to be scheming at all." For so many years, the imperial grandmother has learned the skills to deal with the ministers of the court and protect the country, but she doesn't understand the affairs between the women of the harem. ”

Shu Shu smiled evilly: "The emperor is bold, dare to say that the emperor's grandmother is not." ”

Xuan Ye said angrily: "I told you the truth, haven't you always been curious, that Taizong's noble concubine?" ”

Shu Shu got serious: "In the forbidden palace in the east, even Concubine Zhao has never dared to approach. ”

Xuan Ye said: "There is a woman who is not a ghost or a ghost, in her early years, she would be abused every day, and the imperial grandmother no longer asked people to abuse her these years, but she is still alive and dead." It turns out that it is not so easy for a person to want to die. ”

Shu Shu pursed his lips, obviously frightened: "Really? ”

Xuan Ye bowed his head: "You have to work hard to learn to explore the affairs of the harem, and I can't always hold you back." Shu Shu, we have all grown up, and we can no longer let the imperial grandmother worry about it, I looked carefully that day, the imperial grandmother has aged a lot. When I came here when I was a child, I remember very clearly that the imperial grandmother was full of black hair and so beautiful. ”
